What alma fails to realize is, the percentage of New Halfs to women in those bars is a lot higher than he thinks. It only costs roughly US$10k for the full package.

And yes, that is the term that Asians use for those that get the surgery done, New Half. There's no ill meaning behind it either. The Thai's have an annual contest too, believe it's called the Miss Tiffany Universe.

I don't think so(yet). I acquired a stalker/cyber harasser (former employee of my University who was not rehired, and ended up blaming/attacking students when the media stopped paying attention to her. My "bad" was saying that it made sense that she and 20 other adjuncts werent rehired due to our regional accreditation process; we need more Piled Higher and Deepers.)

I've lost 20 pounds in a month. I'm not skinny, just stressed. And, Im pretty sure not pregnant but Ill know in a week, for sure.

How do I fail to realize that? I assumed all questionable women as men. They were a lot. There was also a lot of "women" turned around at Singapore's immigration. It could have been for any reason as I assume that anyone who changed their *** would have changed their passport as well. Given that male homosexuality is illegal in Singapore, I also would assume that they would have taken that in consideration.

So "homophobes" now have *** with the same ***? Or are you raping them?

Some people do some ridiculously complex mental gymnastics to get them through the day. I've had *** with two different self claimed homophobes. They proclaimed their homophobia proudly before, during, and after. I don't ask them about the logic, although I know one of them thought he wasn't *** because he was playing the pitcher.

You don't support OPEC in any shape, fashion or form? Interesting......tell me more.

You do realize that with the appropriate resources, anyone can play "7 degrees" to connect support of any organization to some form of hate, violence or terrorism? "Boycotting" a business because they eat lunch with their neighbor who works for an organization who partnered with an organization that supports x,y or z is childish.

Without doing any research on your Uganda claim, the fact that you say "state" means politics. I highly doubt CFA has a political seat in Uganda. That's how Uganda rules their people, so according to your logic, no country should support Uganda as a nation. However, also according to your logic, that would make you "pro-poverty", "pro-HIV" and "pro-violence" for not supporting a nation whose making an effort to reduce those high numbers.

The Family Research Council spent 25K lobbying the US government not to denounce CIVH Res. 1064, a bill in the nation of Uganda which would instate the death penalty for homosexuality. Link.

It's not about "7 degrees", like you posted earlier. If you donate money to an organisation, as CFA does here, how does that presuppose they do not support their stances on things like this?

Also, as you fallaciously tried to pin down, it's not about stopping aid relief to Uganda either.

Do you or do you not support OPEC in any way, shape or form? If not, please explain how you are not.

Do you or do you not support Uganda?

This is exactly "7 degrees" because you're attacking a business who supports an organization which is lobbying the US to support a law from an organization from another country.

As I said, if the "Family Council" did nothing but go around and kill gays themselves, then you might have a point; however, this isn't the Family Council's doing, it's Uganda. The Family Council supports a practice CHOSEN by the people of the nation, just like the countries from OPEC. You know, the people you support. So, it's childish to boycott them based on some indirect connection if you're doing the same thing with other organizations.

Don't get me wrong. I understand what you're doing and why. I somewhat did the same thing with Calvin Klein, but I realize that at the end, my actions will change nothing, I will lose out on something that I might particularly like and I still will somehow support the same type of thinking by supporting someone else without my knowledge. As long as you realize those things, then you're fine. If you deny those things, then you're just delusional.

You can spend your whole life playing the "What's the use of feeding one guy if you can't feed every person in the world?" game or you can pick your battles and try to make whatever small impact you can to make the world a better place. You can give a billion dollars to OPEC or whoever and ten dollars to CFA and cutting out that $10 is still ten bucks less potentially going to causes you find abhorrent. You're welcome to think that it's not worth it and you'd rather give that extra ten bucks than stop eating chicken sandwiches or wearing jeans that you like but feeling that is is worth it is hardly delusional, rationalizations of "It wasn't going to make that big a difference anyway" not withstanding.

Hey guys, over here, I'm a white male *****! I'm the oppressed, and the oppressor! Everyone pay attention to me!

You think you can take off days/weeks from posting and then come in here and demand attention like this?

That's...that's just NIXNOT, man.

fixed. someone else can color code it if they want.

NIXNOT should just get filtered so it always gets colour coded automatically.

The first one deals with life and death of a person, the latter deals with you potentially pausing the income flow of a multimillionaire that can just as easily put his/her efforts into another similar project.

Posted:Aug 06 2012 at 7:09 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) That's because I reiterated my original post in which your response did not adequately address. I see nothing was gained.

Yes, yes we know. No one here can see your genius. Everyone you know who conveniently isn't here at least believes you have intelligent reasoning even if they disagree with your conclusion.

Such a burden you must bear.

Nope not at all. People openly admit to not reading my posts before responding to what they THINK I'm referring to. When they do that, 9 times out of 10, they are responding to an old played out argument that I'm not making. Once they actually read what I write, it's the same response "You should have said that before" or "It was too confusing", which is contradictory if you're admitting that I change very few words.

That isn't the case with Jophiel though. He simply addressed an issue that wasn't my point at no fault of any of us. Maybe I misunderstood his point, maybe he misunderstood my point or the combination of the two. In any case, we don't agree hence the reason why he said what he said.
